love this track from new 4ad band, Liima
minimalist rhythmic electronic-art-rock track. riyl: late 70s / early 80s Simple Minds (and 2014's Big Music), Eno / Byrne: My Life in the Bush of Ghosts / Caribou / Colder / Out Hud / 120 Days. The vocalist does sound like a pensive Jim Kerr at times, maybe they were inspired by Simple Minds: The American with the title of the track being Amerika?

Liima Announce Debut Album ‘ii,’ Share New Single
http://exclaim.ca/music/article/liima_announce_debut_album_ii_share_new_single

“Amerika.” An interesting and cleverly arranged jumble of synths, samples and rhythms, it serves as an intriguing introduction into the global sounds of Liima.

Liima brings together the talents of Finnish percussionist Tatu Rönkkö with Mads Brauer, Casper Clausen and Rasmus Stolberg of Danish indie rock band Efterklang, and the Scandinavian supergroup have just announced that their debut album will arrive on March 18 via 4AD.

I do not know anything about Heimat:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqxyOcqVIRU#t=37

(Sorry I guess you are avoiding embedded videos here.)

I never clicked on one of these threads before because I never knew what they were about. I'm still not 100% sure but that Andrew Bernstein piece is good! I didn't know about him. Are you guys familiar with David Mott?

(I still don't know what this thread is about)

the Andrew Bernstein track made me think of Colin Stetson

When Colin Stetson was but a babe, there was David Mott.

This thread? I don't think anyone knows

loving the Heimat, thank you Rudipherous

stop reading now if you prefer not to know any more (possibly the best approach so I'll keep it minimal) - they are French (despite the mysterious dream-German vocals) and their new album comes out next month: http://killshaman.com/blogs/news

I've been reading these threads since they started and I still don't know what they're for enough to post anything, but I like lurking on them and stealing all your links. thanks everyone

Favourite thread of the year so far, thanks for posting such awesome sounds!

Two of my favs from last weeks come from Umor Rex:

- M. Geddes Gengras' Two variations: https://umorrex.bandcamp.com/album/two-variations
- Good Willsmith's Things Our Bodies Used To Have (from which I was lucky to share a track in my radioshow https://www.mixcloud.com/Sterrenplaten/sterrenplaten-22-januari-2016/)

Loving upcoming Yearning Kru album on Planet Mu as well.

Oh yeah I meant to check out that MGG, thanks for the reminder.

There's a new Mikael Seifu track out, it's busier and imo not up to the standard of "Brass" or "Yarada Lij", but pretty cool nonetheless: How To Save A Life (Vector of Eternity)

Looking forward to that Seifu ep. Not too familiar with his previous work, will check out

And new Razen on Kraak: https://kraak.bandcamp.com/album/endrhymes
How could I forget. Vinyl version has a slight delay.

okay, the Annabel (lee) album has been mentioned ONCE on ilx and it was during the year end nominations and having bumped into it via my bulk listening project, I'm liking it a lot. Lovely late-era Holiday style croaky crooning over romantic strings and shoegaze effects.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jahxZ4clJY
This could just as easily fit in rolling goth or post-fahey or maybe shambhala or jazz or even pop too! Rummaging through the full album now; I'm sold.

ha, i just noticed this in the PR blurb

"A new music as discord, and as a discordant accord, the source of time. " fits in with the thread theme title

This is pleasant: https://soundcloud.com/constellationtatsu/thousand-foot-whale-claw-cassini

I nominated this for the 2014 tracks poll, based on demos and live versions. It's finally out as a single on iTunes today. Slightly overproduced and they're playing down The Shining angle (a bit) in the cheapo video. Still, hurrah for Norwich's own Let's Eat Grandma!

lol "let's eat grandma/let's eat, grandma" is an example in my textbook for why comma usage can change the meaning of a sentence

P cool 1982 electroacoustic piece being released on Mego this year. Described here.

I think this was released late last year (and apparently they've been around a while), but have just come across it and couldn't think of a better place to post...which is probably the point. This is a gloriously mechanised meltdown. It makes me feel like someone had said to me 'Would you like to listen to the music I've been working on?' and then they play this, and I'm trapped in the room forever.

closing track, Does it Look as If I Care on the new brilliant Choir of Young Believers album Grasque released February 19th

new discovery:

Kurushimi "Kurushimi"

http://newprogreleases.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/kurushimi-kurushimi.html

This heavily improvised release pushes the boundaries of deconstructionist noise-jazz with departures into doom, grindcore, prog, dub and hip hop. The result is something like the unholy congress of Ornette Coleman, Morbid Angel, Bill Laswell, John Zorn and Bohren & Der Club Of Gore.

released February 16, 2016

Bandcamp:
http://artascatharsis.bandcamp.com/album/kurushimi

This Kurushimi is pretty fantastic. Reminds me of Zu and Combat Astronomy, though there isn't exactly a big frame of reference for this sort of thing. Makes me think I should probably try to listen to Naked City again for the millionth time in the hope something sticks.

I haven't really listened to anything in 2016 yet. Need to get some concentration span back and get back in the game. ;_;

p excited for this album

really like the liima & mount analogue tracks upthread too

been enjoying HKEs latest (member of ２８１４)
https://oesbee.bandcamp.com/album/omnia

that is ridiculous
is there anything really great & new that i need to hear? i am writing a little thing for a "what are you listening to" column and i could use some fresh sounds

closing track of the new comet control album is like a spacier spiritualized if that sounds any good. there's also the saqqara mastabas record which is matthew from the fiery furnaces mucking about pleasantly

been a quietish few weeks for new releases tho

This sparking improv set by Rick Parker & Li Daiguo is the one for me these days https://parkerli.bandcamp.com/album/free-world-music

And obviously the new Jute Gyte is the best music ever

lots to track down here: http://thequietus.com/articles/20621-albums-of-the-year-first-half-2016

That list is so great

yes, that quietus list is very useful and i totally love the ridiculous song titles on the rick parker/li daiguo thing in addition to the sounds

if nothing else this will get some new sounds in my head

Just leaving this here. Can't describe it worth a squat.

Horribly paranoid, glitchy debut from Maja Osojnik.

I've been listening to the thread playlist a bunch over the last few days. Lots of great stuff! Probably the one that's most inline with my personal aesthetic is Lake Ruth.

https://wu-wu.bandcamp.com/album/limelite-ep

^ Aggressively cute, vapory electropop! Chewed Up is the stand-out I think. Colleague overheard and described it as 'when you hold down fast forward on a cassette tape while it's still playing'.

Aw, glad you liked Lake Ruth, Moodles. If you haven't listened yet, you should also try Hintermass and Emma Pollock from this year (though those aren't suggestions for the Time Travel playlist so much).

A ghost box release featuring former Broadcast members? Sounds promising!

Playlist is updated and, because I love you, I went through that Best of the First Half of 2016 list and added a track from everything that's up on Spotify to this playlist... plenty new to explore!

Speaking of Ghost Box, the new Pye Corner Audio probably deserves mention here. Not yet sure which track is the most time travel-y.

yeah it's great!

it's ok folks, the katie gately album is out soon

Yves Tumor's album on Pan is well worth checking out. I'm not really sure how to describe it but it sounds a bit like Hype Williams, and you can listen to clips here - https://boomkat.com/products/serpent-music

Youtube just pointed me to Hannah Epperson, who has apparently never been mentioned on ilx before. Based on this song, she does the Owen Pallett-style solo violin looping + vox thing, sounds a bit like him crossed with Joanna Newsom and Regina Spektor maybe? Going to check out the album here.

Hannah's breadth as a collaborative and compositional powerhouse stems from from an eclectic experiential and educational background: from learning Appalachian folk tunes by ear with a cowgirl in Utah to travelling through Scandinavia and Europe as an accompanist; or from touring her solo project by sailboat with permaculturists to accompanying Flamenco dancers in Spain, before finishing her Honours Degree in Human Geography and representing Canada at World Championships for ultimate frisbee in 2015.

Wow, the album does not sound like what I expected from that Youtube clip.

Everything in that write-up is infuriating but I might give this a listen.

Katie Gately album out tomorrow, Weyes Blood streaming too

Whoa, Katie Gately.

It looks like the front half of this album is mostly electronic and the back half is mostly violin looping? I'm enjoying it so far. (I'm sort of assuming that this kind of lazy on-the-fly commentary is acceptable on this thread?)

Of course! I'm still reeling from that blurb though

Such a bias against people who have led successful and/or complicated lives.

I'm not a regular in this thread, but I imagine Mary Ocher + Your Government could go over well in here. I can't stop listening to this record.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_2RctrboX8

Yeah, I like that. Cool drums.

Playlist is updated thru October, including LJ's explosion of normcore listening.
Around 150 tracks and 16 1/2 hours of music for those what like to explore their artsy fartsy music with a groupthink hand guiding.

ILM's Rolling Time Travel 2016 Thread Spotify Playlist

(I like Mary Ocher, btw; what's the story there?)

I just came across her on bandcamp last night (her album is on Spotify too, which is where I ended up listening to it). Apparently her songs get really drummy when she collaborates with "Your Government," but otherwise she's kind of freak folky as a solo artist.

Laniakea is the new duo project of Massimo Pupillo (Zu) and Daniel O’Sullivan (Grumbling Fur, Ulver, Guapo) – not to be confused with the Progressive Trance group of the same name.

Pupillo and O’Sullivan met when Guapo and Zu played shows together, but this album is elegiac and expansive (“four galactic heart songs”, in O’Sullivan’s own words); in keeping with Grumbling Fur, but nothing like Guapo’s heavy progressive rock, much less Zu’s hardcore/Jazz facemash or the aggressive free jazz Pupillo plays alongside Peter Brötzmann in Hairy Bones.

A Pot of Powdered Nettles (House of Mythology) is devoted to the memory of the late Coil affiliate/artist Ian Johnstone, in whose home O’Sullivan worked on albums by Ulver, Æthenor, Mothlite and Grumbling Fur. A Pot of Powdered Nettles was recorded there too, soon after the birth of O’Sullivan’s son, Ari, and then the death, in the spring of 2015, of Johnstone, Ari’s godfather. The album seems suitably infused with paradoxical emotions, and touched, somehow, by Johnstone’s benevolent magick.

Laniakea – A Pot of Powdered Nettles

that could be cool. although d o's has bored the shit out of me on numerous occasions now and arguably ruined ulver

kind of done with time travel thread tbh, there's been so much amazing music this year from such a swirl of genres and genre crossovers that this doesn't feel like the right niche any more. this thread seems to have become a repository for a very specific sort of arty ambient or jazz that i actually have quite a limited interest in. IDK persuade me

...i... i thought you were persuading _us_...

Lol, was wondering as well

:(

regardless, the playlist is finalized
